Spec Driven Development (SDD) replaces ad hoc "vibe coding" with AI agents by introducing structured planning and iterative review cycles. Instead of one-shot prompts that lead to misaligned solutions and technical debt, SDD uses living specifications as a source of truth, breaking work into small verifiable steps with clear guardrails. The approach involves creating standardized guidelines (like .agents.md files), generating detailed plans before execution, and establishing feedback loops where humans review and refine agent proposals at each step. This methodology reduces assumptions, catches errors early, and ensures AI-generated code aligns with actual requirements through collaborative iteration between developers and coding agents.
